Chapter 55 · A Clerk Who Scolded a Brahmin
हस्त नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
गामेकां कपिलां दद्यात् सवत्सां वस्त्रभूषिताम् ॥सुवर्णस्य कृतं विप्रं पलपञ्चदशस्य तु ॥ १३ ॥
He should give one tawny cow with her calf, dressed and decorated. He should also have a gold image of a brahmin made, of fifteen pala (a unit of weight).
Classical view, not medical advice.
दद्याद्विप्राय विदुषे सर्वप्राणिरताय वै ॥
He should give it to a learned brahmin who loves all beings. And, O Goddess, he should have the Harivamsha (a sacred book about Krishna) heard by…
पुत्रश्च जायते देवि गर्भपातश्च शाम्यति ॥
A son is born, O Goddess, and miscarriage stops. A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) gets a son. This is certain, with no doubt.
पुत्राणां मरणं देवि पूर्वपापप्रसङ्गतः ॥
The deaths of sons come from the old sin, O Goddess. Without a prayashchitta (remedy for a past wrong), how can peace be gained?
